Hope For Homes was created in 2009 by Gissette Cruz,
Richard Dejesus, and Manuel Cruz. The idea came from witnessing the
daily struggles impoverished families face to provide food for
themselves and their children. Gissette wanted these families to be able
to enjoy the holidays without having to worry about how much money they
needed or had in order to provide a Christmas dinner and thus, Hope For
Homes was created.

Each year during the holiday season we provide 40 families with a gift basket containing the following:

8 lbs of Rice

6 lbs of Beans

3 lbs of Meat

1 Gallon of Oil

1 lb of Coffee

2 lbs of Sugar

1 lb of Spaghettis

1 lb of Onions

Tomato Paste

Salt

Liquid seasoning

Powder Seasoning

Salami

2 Litter Pepsi

Bottle of wine

Bottle of Eggnog

Toothpaste

Toothbrushes

Deodorant

Bath soap

Dishwashing soap

All the above items are purchased at local stores in rural areas in order to put money back into the community.
